Trying to get bank details for a £3k refund as "your mortgage is paid off" very persistent

Claims to be from O2. Says my SIM card will stop working and that they want to deliver a new one. I get the same call about twice each week. My SIM card somehow manages to keep going. 😅

Told me they were from 02 not an energy company

They rang claiming to help with energy savings and loft insulation. The conversation quickly felt like a scam pitch rather than real advice. I would not engage with this number.

Looking for a safer home phone?

Traditional landlines were never designed to stop scam callers. New digital landline services use advanced tools such as:

  • Automatic scam number blocking
  • Suspicious call alerts
  • Call recording for safety
  • Trusted person monitoring

Phonely's digital landline was built specifically to protect vulnerable people from nuisance and scam calls. See how Phonely protects your home phone or compare the best digital landline UK.
